Music is my life. Without it, I wouldn't be able to find the happiness and the emotional connection that it brings to the world around us. I am heading into my 40s and as a result, I believe that I have been brought up in an era where music has pushed boundaries. I caught the end of the 80s, I fell in love with the change during the 90s and embraced the futuristic 00's. Music is all-giving and it is always there when I need it!
Blink 182 – Enema of the State – Doing it the Blink 182 Way

Now, I have to be honest, the voice of Chris Martin is loved by millions and disliked by millions, but that is the beauty of music. It divides and it brings people together, and his voice certainly opened my eyes. However, it

Discovery By Daft Punk – a Modern Classic
Daft Punk | Discovery
8 February 2024
Discovery by Daft Punk, is an album that has continued to grow year after year for me. This iconic album was released in 2001 and for me, it changed the face of futuristic dance music. Obviously, the first song that gripped me was One More Time. A classic, but it’s the way in which Daft Punk sampled the ‘More Spell on You’ by Eddie Johns that makes this track even better. However, working through the tracklist and songs such as Crescendolls, Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger and Voyager, I soon realised what a top album this truly is. I still have
